Kamna Gora (pronounced [ˈkaːmna ˈɡɔːɾa], formerly Štamperg[3] or Štamperk,[4] German: Steinberg[3][5]) is a former village in eastern Slovenia in the Municipality of Trebnje. It is now part of the town of Trebnje. It is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.
Kamna Gora is located east of the center of Trebnje along the road through the Temenica Valley.[2] It includes the hamlet of Vina Gorica (a.k.a. Vinja Gora,[5] German: Weinbüchel[4][5]) about 300 meters (980 ft) to the north. A smaller hamlet northeast of the church is known as Štorovje.[2][5] There are tilled fields to the north and northeast of the settlement, and meadows at lower elevations to the south that are subject to flooding by the Temenica.[2]
Name
The Slovene name of the settlement also appears as Kamna Gorica (a diminutive form) in some older sources,[6] and it was sometimes written together with the hamlet of Vina Gorica in hyphenated form: Kamna gora-Vina gorica.[1] Locally, it is known as Štamprk, based on the German name Steinberg.[2] Both the German name Steinberg and the Slovene name Kamna Gora mean 'stone mountain', referring to the local geography and sharing its origin with similar toponyms such as Kamna Gorca and Kamna Gorica.
